US Stocks Move: AngloGold Ashanti Slumps on September 28 Due to Rising Oil Prices, Increasing Yields, and Downgraded Ratings

AngloGold Ashanti September 28: Analysis of Sharp Decline

Keywords: Rising oil prices, rising yields, rating downgrade

1. On September 28, Brent crude oil rose above $108 and the US 10-year Treasury yield climbed above 5.2%, fueling inflation and high interest rate expectations, which put pressure on gold and precious metal mining stocks; the rise in oil prices also increased mining operational costs.

2. Pre-market on September 28, BMO downgraded AngloGold Ashanti's rating from "Outperform" to "Market Perform", and the company's recent quarterly earnings per share and revenue both missed market expectations. Coupled with the recent stock price correction, AU's decline exceeded the major stock indexes.

3. On September 28, precious metal mining stocks such as Gold Fields, Harmony Gold Mining, and Coeur Mining also declined simultaneously, showing that the sector's downturn weighed on AU.
